Goran Dragic hit just 1-of-11 shots on Friday for six points and three assists while dealing with a hand injury, but bounced back on Tuesday with 28 points, two rebounds, four assists, a steal and three 3-pointers on 10-of-19 shooting in 31 minutes.

Dragic is going to the All-Star Game this weekend and tonight's line is a good example of why. He's also hot right now (for the most part), scoring between 33 and 28 points in three of his last five games. Feb 13 - 9:42 PM

Goran Dragic hit just 1-of-11 shots for six points, three assists and two rebounds in 27 minutes vs. the Bucks on Friday.

He did go back to the locker room, but later returned with a bandage on his left (shooting) hand. We'll leave him off the injury report for now, but this is something to keep an eye on going forward. The good news is that he gets a few days off before Tuesday's game vs. Toronto. Feb 10 - 12:26 AM

Goran Dragic scored 30 points with three rebounds, six assists, one steal and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes against the Rockets on Wednesday.

He's basically on a reverse-snub run with three really nice games since he was named to the All-Star Team, including a season-high 33 points on Saturday. The Heat offense is looking a little better and part of that is on Dragic starting to find his shot. He said his arm injury from back in December could linger, so it looks like it's totally behind him now. Feb 7 - 10:49 PM

Goran Dragic scored a season-high 33 points against the Pistons on Saturday, adding two rebounds, six assists, one block, two steals and four 3-pointers in 35 minutes.

He was not playing well coming into this game with four subpar outings in a row. Even with this strong game included, his averages don't look great over his last five at 15.8 points, 2.4 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.2 treys on 43.2 percent from the field. He's an All-Star and he should still be a top-50 player going forward. Feb 3 - 9:39 PM

The Heat announced that Dion Waiters underwent successful surgery on Monday to repair instability in his left ankle and will miss the remainder of the season.

A preexisting navicular bone fracture was also repaired during the surgery. Per Miami reporter Ira Winderman, "the expected recovery timetable from such an ankle procedure is six to ninth months. The long end of such an estimate would take it into next season's training camp." We should have plenty of updates on Waiter over the summer as he rehabs in preparation for the 2018-19 season.

Rodney McGruder (leg) is traveling with the team, but will not play Tuesday vs. Toronto or Wednesday vs. Philadelphia.

McGruder underwent surgery to repair a stress fracture in his left tibia back in mid-October. He has been making steady progress in his rehab and has a chance to return after the All-Star break. Although McGruder saw plenty of playing time for Miami last season, he will have a tough time carving out consistent minutes even when fully healthy this year. He should be left on waivers.

Kelly Olynyk (left shoulder strain) will not play on Tuesday vs. Toronto or Wednesday vs. Philly.

As expected, Olynyk will not return before the All-Star break. The Heat are still not providing a timetable, so there's no guarantee that he will be cleared right away after the break. Bam Adebayo has been awesome and the Heat have used him next to Hassan Whiteside, so expect to see more of that. Justise Winslow and James Johnson also get a bump with this news.
